24. Challenges to Achieve Intersectoral Collaboration Single-sector orientation of: Policy making institutions Funding Training Research No incentive to focus on intersectoral issues Sector-specific paradigms

25. Challenges to Achieve Intersectoral Collaboration(Continued) Competition between sectors Complexity and capacity constraints Source: von Braun, Ruel and Gillespie (Chapter 14)

26. Suggested Action Health-oriented food systems research and policy Biofortification Host-plant resistance IPM, ecological production methods Health implications of added chemicals post harvest Socio-economic and political economy analyses on trade-offs and multiple-wins Apply most appropriate research methods

27. Suggested Action(Continued) Institutional changes Inter-sectoral problem solving institutions Multidisciplinary training
